Do you know
how much I love you?
Do you know that you are
ground
and roof
and column
and garden
and stream
and refuge?
Do you know
that in the fluid green of your eyes
I discover all the secrets of creation
and find solace and peace
and truth and lust
and the brown
reflection of my own inquisitive eyes
asking the eternal question?
